 Australian media digitisation specialist DAMsmart is leveraging the integration between Digital Rapids encoding solutions and Front Porch Digital's SAMMAsolo film and videotape migration platform to provide superior-quality, automated, multi-format archiving services to their discerning clientele.
SAMMAsolo -- which became part of Front Porch Digital's offerings with the company's acquisition of SAMMA Systems in 2008 -- is a patented migration system designed to provide archive-quality migration of film and videotape content to multiple file formats, including JPEG2000, in one single pass. This automated method of migrating analogue and digital content to digital files preserves the legacy of archives and brings content out of retirement. When designing SAMMAsolo to cater to the increasingly broad and demanding formats required by archivists and broadcasters, SAMMA Systems selected Digital Rapids' encoding cards and software for integration into the system. Initially incorporating Digital Rapids' DRC-1400 hardware with the accompanying Digital Rapids Stream software, Front Porch Digital has recently moved to Digital Rapids' newer Flux hardware for the latest generation of SAMMAsolo.
"We chose Digital Rapids because they offered the most comprehensive SDK for our integration, and their codec support was the widest available by far," said Chi-Long Tsang, VP of Engineering, SAMMA Products at Front Porch Digital. "We integrated the Digital Rapids solutions into SAMMAsolo with the most useful codecs and wrapper formats for our users, including Adobe Flash, QuickTime, Windows Media, MPEG-4, MPEG-2, IMX and MXF."
